Sunlight - Jack and the Beanstalk - hidden acrostic - imagine x 3

Today's #afewwordsaday #KAFWAD submission
Why not join me? Today's prompts are below. Prompts for the rest of the week are in a separate post just below.

7th September 2015
The version of Jack and the Beanstalk I used as a format is my family's favourite. It's a picture boo by Sally Grindley and Peter Utton, called 'Shhh!' Find it on Amazon here.
My sentence doesn't quite follow the format, but I think it is used effectively.

Adds interest, builds atmosphere. Describe 3 parts of something, separated by commas. Use a colon after the third one and finish with a linked clause.
Imagine a place where the sun always shines, where wars never happen, where no-one ever dies: in the Andromeda 5 system there is such a planet.

Lazy Jack was supposed to sell his cow but came home with 5 beans instead. He much preferred sitting in the sunlight to trudging the long way to market.




Shhh! Jack, you are about to enter a
Giantā€™s Abominable castle.
Hey ā€“ Come inside! Imagine
The Kitchen (where heā€™ll cook you if he finds you!); 

The Attic (where I hope he is asleep);
The Nooks and crannies (which youā€™ll need to hide in if you wake him).
Shh! Donā€™t make a sound.

Look ā€“ Thereā€™s the giantā€™s pet mouse.
If He wakes, heā€™ll run and tell the Giant.
His Ears are twitching! And thereā€™s the giantā€™s cat.

Shhh! Be quiet. Letā€™s go past very quickly.
Whoops! Eeek! Jack you made the floorboard squeak! Is the
Cat Awake?
Heā€™s Not?
Good! Shhh!
Look! Thereā€™s the giant.
Jack! Almost there. I dare you to say,
ā€˜Boo!ā€™ Listen to that snore! Oh, it's stopped...

Quicky Koalas, heā€™s coming! Run!
